Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic Acid CAS 852181-03-4 chemical structure

Description

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.

2-Bromo-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic Acid (CAS 852181-03-4), molecular formula C5H5BrN2O2 and molecular weight 205.01 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 2-Bromo-1-methyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylic Acid (C5H5BrN2O2) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 205.01 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
